Billy Corgan
Image
The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
Billy Corgan
Image
Every year that goes by, I lose that much more motivation to play rock.
Billy Corgan
Image
Well, we have brought certain things upon ourselves. I've certainly brought things upon us with my mouth.
Billy Corgan

That's at the root of the human interaction: fair trade.
Billy Corgan
Image
Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that.
Billy Corgan
Image
The difficulty, if you're in the world - and this is for anybody - is the eventual disappointment that comes with having to meet other versions of reality. Imposed systems that ask you to compromise or sacrifice things which you consider holy or sacred.

I work differently than most people.
